Wilkerson - Benton County, Alabama 1850
I am searching for a Wilkerson family with a son named John, or John W., age 9, in or near Benton County in 1850.This John married Rebecca H. Kilgore in Benton County in 1859 and died at Chicamauga in 1863.He may have had a brother named Zara.His name is found in 1859 and 1860 as both Wilkinson and Wilkerson.Civil war records show "Wilkerson".Benton County changed names to Calhoun County in 1860 or so.
